dispel doubts
1. Over 2,000 new infections in a single day, why is there a surge in infections?
Zhang Yan, deputy director of the Jilin Provincial Health Commission, said that the number of confirmed infections in the province has risen sharply, mainly for two reasons.
On the one hand, it reflects that the spread of the new coronavirus in Omikron is hidden, highly contagious, and fast, and it is difficult to detect in the early stage, and it is easy to form community transmission. Jilin City has completed 6 rounds of nucleic acid testing for all employees, Jiutai District of Changchun City has completed 3 rounds of nucleic acid testing, and other urban areas in Changchun City have also completed 2 rounds of nucleic acid testing. Large-scale nucleic acid testing has been carried out in the early stage, and potentially infected people in the community have been discovered. .
On the other hand, it reflects that some areas are facing the situation of rapid increase of the epidemic situation, and the medical resources expansion capacity is insufficient, resulting in limited centralized admission and treatment in a short period of time. The emergency response mechanism in individual areas is not perfect, the understanding of the characteristics of the Omicron virus and the severe and complex epidemic situation is insufficient, and the research and judgment are inaccurate. There are still gaps in terms of what should be separated, what should be treated, and what should be managed.
In response, the provincial party committee and the provincial government made decisive decisions based on changes in the epidemic situation, quickly adjusted the leadership of the epidemic-related areas, and implemented various prevention and control measures strictly and quickly.
2. Why are there so many “light” ones?
According to the official data released by Jilin, among the 2052 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Jilin Province, according to the clinical classification: 2025 cases of light type and 27 cases of ordinary type. It can be seen that most of the cases are mild.
In this regard, Zhao Qinglong, director of the Emergency Office of the Jilin Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, pointed out that there are at least three reasons:
First, the virus strain of this round of epidemic in Jilin Province is the evolutionary branch of the Omicron variant strain BA.2. Although it is more transmissible and faster than the original Omicron strain, its characteristics determine the infection. Clinical symptoms are not obvious or asymptomatic.
Second, the vaccination rate of Jilin Province is as high as over 95%, and the population immunity has been enhanced, which has effectively prevented the occurrence of severe and fatal cases. On the other hand, in areas with low vaccination rates, the severe and fatal rates are still relatively high among those infected with the Omicron variant.
Third, all the affected areas in Jilin Province have carried out nucleic acid testing of all staff, and some places have done five or six rounds. Many confirmed cases were found in the nucleic acid testing of all staff. When the symptoms were mild, they were treated in time, which effectively prevented the The disease progresses to severe and critical.
Zhao Qinglong said that for the current Omicron variant, the existing protective measures can still be very effective in blocking the spread of the virus as long as they are put in place. In addition, it is necessary to compare the speed with the virus. The earlier the case is found, the easier it is to control.
3. What are the characteristics of this epidemic in Jilin?
Zhang Yan, deputy director of the Jilin Provincial Health and Health Commission, introduced that the epidemic in Jilin Province is hidden, the virus is highly infectious, and the transmission speed is fast. The outbreak occurred at the beginning of the spring semester. The increase in cross-regional flow of people further accelerated the spread of the epidemic. Clusters of epidemics occurred in some schools. The situation of community prevention and control and campus prevention and control was severe and complicated, and prevention and control were difficult. Activities such as gatherings and markets in rural areas have also accelerated the spread of the epidemic, and clustered epidemics have appeared in some rural areas.
4. Judging from the current epidemic prevention work in Jilin Province, how to carry out the prevention and control work strictly?
Zhao Qinglong, director of the emergency response office of the Jilin Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that first, we must resolutely overcome paralysis, war weariness, luck, and relaxation, and resolutely curb the rapid development of the epidemic.
The second is to expand the scope of nucleic acid screening. At present, the epidemic is still spreading in some areas, and the Omicron variant is highly secretive. It is necessary to carry out multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing in order to find out the background of the epidemic as soon as possible and quickly cut off the chain of transmission.
The third is to speed up flow investigation and transfer isolation. After the infected person is found, the three public (workers) work together to quickly determine the risk area and personnel, accurately and scientifically delineate the medium and high risk areas, and seal the control area. The implementation of “people do not leave the area, strictly prohibit gatherings”. The close contacts should be turned as far as possible, and they should be separated as far as possible to completely block community transmission, and to achieve social clearance in the shortest possible time.
5. What measures will Jilin take next to prevent and control the epidemic?
Zhang Yan, deputy director of the Jilin Provincial Health and Health Commission, said that the first is to accurately carry out nucleic acid testing for all employees. Fully carry out flow investigation and investigation, further enrich the testing force, vigorously promote antigen testing technology, improve nucleic acid testing capabilities and testing efficiency, and achieve full coverage of nucleic acid testing for all employees. Extensive inspections shall be carried out to find out the number of positive infected persons and key personnel such as close contacts and sub-close contacts, and resolutely block the chain of epidemic transmission.
The second is to focus on strengthening social static control. Further strengthen the control force, strengthen the prevention and control of key places such as schools, communities, and rural areas, and implement various control measures without compromise to ensure that non-essential flow and gathering are not necessary, so that they should be managed and resolutely prevent the spread of the epidemic.
The third is to effectively and orderly do a good job of transshipment and isolation. Strictly follow the norms to carry out centralized management and separate isolation, coordinate the hotel resources in the province, prepare sufficient isolation rooms, and do a good job in the connection of the transfer link to ensure that the number of people in isolation matches the hotel capacity, and the entire transfer process is absolutely safe. Do a good job in isolation personnel management and services to avoid cross-infection.
Fourth, make every effort to strengthen medical treatment. Increase the number of designated medical institutions, strengthen the infrastructure construction of designated hospitals and the guarantee of medicines and materials, accelerate the progress of the construction and reconstruction of Fangcang shelter hospitals, Fangcang shelter isolation points, rehabilitation hospitals, and “yellow code hospitals”, and coordinate the mobilization of the province’s medical teams, medical resources and The technical force, the implementation of one-person-one-case diagnosis, treatment and management, spare no effort to treat patients, and effectively meet the normal medical needs of the masses. Attach great importance to the treatment of the elderly and those with underlying diseases to prevent them from becoming severe.
Fifth, strengthen community prevention and control. Divide the closed control area, control area, and prevention area, and implement the “five guarantees and one” community prevention and control responsibility system according to the principles of promotion and control, cadre sinking, flat operation, and territorial disposal, and refine the grid management measures. Thoroughly do a good job of environmental disinfection.
Sixth, do a good job in the prevention and control of key parts and places. Pay close attention to key epidemic areas and clusters of risk points such as schools, hospitals, factories, construction sites, etc., fully implement various prevention and control measures, make every effort to curb the spread of the epidemic, control local clustered epidemics as soon as possible, and achieve social zero Target.
Seventh, strengthen prevention and control work. Strengthen the training of epidemic prevention and control forces, and effectively improve the work level. Strengthen supervision and inspection to ensure that prevention and control measures are implemented. Fully guarantee the supply of materials, resolutely crack down on price gouging, and ensure sufficient supply of basic living materials and stable prices. Continue to do a good job of vaccination and build a good immune barrier.
